Modulation of Radiation Induced Oxidative Stress in Swiss Albino Mice Brain by Prunus Domestica
نویسنده
چکیده
Prunus domestica fruits extract (PDE) was evaluated for in vivo radioprotective activity against whole body gamma irradiation in Swiss albino mice. The irradiation of mice resulted in significant elevation of lipid peroxidation in terms of thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS) and depletion in glutathione (GSH), protein, superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase at all the intervals studied, viz 1-30 days in comparison to the control group (no treatment). Radiation also induced deficit in spatial memory as assessed by Morris Water Maze (MWM). Pre/post treatment with PDE significantly ameliorated the lipid peroxidation and activities of endogenous antioxidant enzymes in brain and improved spatial learning.

Background: Radiotherapy is the main modality of cancer treatment. There are many chemical radioprotectors which unfortunately have lethal or toxic effect. Therefore the search is on to find out natural plant based radioprotectors. A well known medicinal plant,which is more acceptable to the body, Tinospora cordifolia, was tested in animal tissues against gamma radiations. Radioprotectiv...
